    I just finished this knife and I couldn't be happier with it. It's a 300mm sujihiki made from CPM-154 (powdered stainless steel) with a dyed maple burl & exhibition grade koa western handle.

    The handle material selection came from "my girls" because I needed some help figuring out what to do on this one. They went through my cut offs and blocks to come up with this combo and even though I wasn't 100% sure how it would turn out I'm stunned at how nice it looks completed. Even though you can't see this the metal spacer is copper and the pin is a mosaic made from copper and nickel silver. I think it's one of the best looking combinations I've ever done and yet I can't claim it, hmmmm, maybe there's something to this. [​IMG]

    So I was thinking.....

    Since I can really use the $$$ I'd like to offer this knife up to you to make me an offer. [​IMG]

    Send me a PM with what you're willing to pay and we'll go from there. I'd prefer to get full value but at this moment a quick sale is what's required more.

    Don't be shy, I won't be insulted, and I don't bite. [​IMG]
